Hebrews 9:11-12

But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation.

7. HE CAME TO HARVEST WHAT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO THE FATHER.

Mark 12:1-7

AND [Jesus] started to speak to them in parables [with comparisons and illustrations]. A man PLANTED A VINE YARD and put a hedge around it and dug a pit for the wine-press and built a tower and let it out [for rent] to vine-dressers and went into another country. WHEN SEASON CAME, he sent a bond servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. But they took him and beat him and sent him away without anything. Again he sent to them another bond servant, and they stoned him and wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully [sending him away with insults]. And he sent another, and that one they killed; then many others—some they beat, and some they put to death. He had still one left [to send], a BELOVED SON; last of all he sent him to them, SAYING, THEY WILL RESPECT MY SON. But those tenants said to one another, Here is the heir; come on, let us put him to death, and [then] the inheritance will be ours.
